All of that is arguing against a point that I did not make.

Read the posts on this thread, Fred. They are ignorant, bigoted (stupid) comments about monkeys and barbarians.

The fact that there were medieval Islamic scholars and philosophers is not even debateable. They existed. I never argued to what level their thought was 'rooted in Islam.' The fact that some were neoplatonic or Aristotelian indicates that they were in fact, scholars who understood Greek philosophy, which is certainly not Christian either. (Though some would argue that Plato is pre-Christian with an understanding of Christ's teachings).

My bringing up medieval scholarship in Muslim countries was for one purpose only..........to enlighten the 'monkeys' on this thread who haven't got a clue.....

It obviously didn't work.

there's only one level: allah will rule the whole world and mohammad is the last 'prophet'
